As the city reels from a devastating natural disaster that has affected the lives of hundreds of thousands, Brazilian glamour model and Manhattan resident Nana Gouvea used this as an ill-conceived opportunity to fill out her lookbook.
Gouvea, who reportedly appeared in Brazilian Playboy, showed a complete lack of sensitivity as she seductively posed by crushed cars, fallen trees and the debris-filed city streets.
She proudly posted the series of images taken by her husband Carlos Keyes on her Facebook page, sparking instant outcry.
“After Sandy devastated the city, Gouvea and her husband ventured outdoors to document the destruction and to prove that there’s one thing killer storm surges can never wash away: raw sex appeal,” mocked Gawker.
The photos quickly went viral. Even a Facebook page and tumblr account, both called Nana Gouvea in Disasters, have surfaced to satirize the brunette. Images of the model have been Photoshopped onto other tragic scenes like the 2011 earthquake in Japan, the Hindenburg disaster, the sinking of the Titanic and others.
Adding insult to injury, Gouvea later told Brazilian entertainment Web site EGO about how she loves hurricanes because they give her an opportunity to spend time with her husband.
She told the publication Sandy is the second hurricane they experienced – the first being Hurricane Irene last August.
“It was my first trip to New York,” Gouvea said. “We were in his apartment, watching movies, cooking.”
